Jocasta Sleeps - Crayfish Cocktail

Jocasta was a luckless figure, even by the oft ill-fated standards of Greek mythology. A murdered husband and a slightly more intimate relationship with her son than she could have ever possibly wanted were ghastly ingredients in a recipe for disaster. Jocasta Sleeps, luckily, are far from such tragedy. Crayfish Cocktail is a promising signal of intent from the Glaswegian outfit and is one which displays the kind of punch and charm that has propelled Biffy Clyro into the mainstream with Puzzle. Callum Wiseman’s desperate vocals add a rough, unmistakeably Scottish edge to the affair and while the lyrics may appear downbeat, the jagged guitar and steady drumbeat make for surprisingly pleasant and lively listening.
